The purpose of this synopsis is to trace the important issue of food as a resource and waste from an ecology point of view and their interconnection with social ecology, to present important contemporary aspects in understanding this issue and to identify approaches in creating ecological and social attitude toward food. This research focuses on the processes of food waste reduction. Apart from the purely quantitative (material) aspects, it draws our attention to the immaterial side of waste, which has to do with our value system.
